I'm getting frustrated

Jean Francis said:

I've been on the plan for 12 weeks. I've lost a grand total of 3.5 pounds. I keep going up and
down. Someone ahead of me in line has lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks. I'm deeply frustrated. I've just
come home with
a .8pound gain after what I thought was a very successful week.

I am compulsive regarding my points, and write everything down. I walk at least 10 miles/week (2.5
per walk, so 4 times/week.). I do not go over my alloted weekly flex points.

I know that losing slowly is the best for the long term, but this is ridiculous. I'm tempted to go
on a vegetable/water regimen, but that will only give me a short term weight loss which will
disappear once I start eating responsibly again.

I need some encouragement!

thanks!

It can take a while for some folks... Are you DRINKING enough water? And do you have a leader you
can talk to about this?

Another thing to ask yourself is, Do I feel better?

If you are eating fewer calories than before, it will eventualy have an effect.

Sorry you're having such a problem, Jean. Have you tried to alter your ration of protein, carbs &
fats? Some people have better losses after they do this. Wish you luck. Elaine K

Jean I know how you feel, My weight loss on WW has also been slow, and i think this has been part of
the reason for my motivation crisis at the moment. One thing is sure I am eating healthier than
before so at some point if not weight wise every week my body is benifiting from this new WOE health
wise. Keep at it, make sure you weigh and measure your portions, Iknow if I don't the amount creeps
up but I write out the same points. Drinking the water is also a really big help for me. Michelle

Hi Jean.........

All what I can tell u is that few weeks ago I had EXACTLY the same thng, after many weeks on
program I didnt feel I was having enough "loss" and I was down and depresed, etc.. I talked to my
leader but was not really encoraging BUT, what I got that week from my husband changed the
show....... He got me a kitchen weightscale and was THEN when I started to realize that I was
eating too much more than I tought. So MY problem was that I tought I was eating around 26p/day
but it was somewhere around the 35's . As soon as I changed and adjusted that Weight started to
go much easier...... So, what I can rcommend u is to CHECK and WEIGHT what u r eating at least
for the net 2 weeks and Im sure u'll see better results...........

Hope u get in the good way soon ......... Best wishes

Your leader will be able to look over you journal and offer advice, or you could post it here if you
like. There are more booklets available if you talk to your leader. Many times slow loss is caused
by undercalculating your points by estimating serving sizes, eating too many zero point foods, or
overestimating activity points. The flex points and activity points don't have to be eaten. Not
eating all of them should speed up your loss.

some people take longer to get started and if you had been dieting before
joining WW your body may be readjusting and this can take several weeks, and
you may be able to tell a difference by taking measurements and tracking
that as well. I have lost slowly and steadily and I never did get that
first month whoosh. I attribute that to the fact that I was starving myself
before joining WW. Hang in there and good luck, Lee

Rule #1 -
Never ever EVER compare your losses to someone elses... everyone has
different successes on WW. 🙂

Okay, now that that's out of the way, why not try posting your journals to us so we can see what you
are eating? Maybe you need more protein and fruits/veggies and less carbs/fats... ? Are you eating
all your APs in addition to using FlexPoints? Are you using too many points? Not enough points?
Please let us know so we can help you figure it out. I joined WW in January of '02 and am still
sitting at -34 so you aren't the only "slow loser" out there.
